With an organized and warrior-like performance, Corinthians secured their spot in the final of the FIFA Women's Club World Cup this Wednesday. With a goal from Gabi Zanotti, the Brabas defeated Gotham FC 1-0 to earn their place. Coach Lucas Piccinato celebrated the victory and spoke about the enormous challenge faced by Timão.

“A wonderful feeling. A well-executed game plan by them, against a team with very high intensity. We knew we would have our chances, and we did. They knew the magnitude of the game and put Corinthians in the final. We know the challenge in the final, we want more. We might be the underdogs again, but we are going for more,” said Piccinato, in an interview with Cazé TV.
